It now looks possible that Katrina will track west of Lake Ponchatrain - and push the lake water north. The worst case for flooding is a track just east of the lake (so the counter-clockwise winds will drive the lake into NO).

The wind damage will be similar for either track.

RE:"Wasn't Gilbert CAT 3 when it hit?" The people of cozumel were thankful.

RE:"Thought perhaps top of CAT 4 but 175 mph is beyond comprehension. Scary the forecasts had it going from 115 to 125 when it actually jumped to 175 mph in a matter of hours overnight, which was a disservice to the people living in harms way"

Not an exact science.
